partner in that section, and occupying
the seat facing his. He at once began
in a drunkel fashion to abuse the ne
gro, accusing him of trying to ..set up

said; that helhad nothing against the
"niggers" ana was always their friend
when they behaved themselves. So he
hoped the stranger would see that in
anything that had passed he meant no
personal oifehse to him.
.'rhat is III right, sir" said the col
ored man, With politcness. II saw
your condition at once, and of course,
under the circumstances. did not con-
slider you responsible for your acts at
that time. Your apology this morning
makes the ahlendc honorable. Allow

EDNIuNDs COUNTY

The furnishing of seed grain to the
farmers by the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul road is Il boon of inestimablc
value to Edmunds county. Heretofore
seed could only be procured at bur-
densome figures, and as result the
most reasonable terms would make it
cost the farmer from 81 so to S1.50 per
bushel. The rule adopted by the
company-that of returning bushel
and a half of grain for every bushcl
of seed procured-will prove to be far
less expensive than if the grain had
been purchased from elevator COM
panies or private individuals.
